[2] Green's next matches for the side came at the 2013 Africa Under-19 Championship tournament.

Green was a member of Namibia's squad for the 2014 Under-19 World Cup, where he played in three matches. [4] He scored a duck against Australia and four runs against Scotland, but against Canada scored 57 runs from 77 balls, featuring in a 93-run second-wicket stand with Malan Kruger. [5]

At the 2015 Africa Under-19 Championship, played in Tanzania, he was appointed the captain of the national under-19 side, and went on to lead the tournament in runs, with 271 from five innings.

Green made his senior limited-overs debut for Namibia in September 2013, in a dead rubber against the United Arab Emirates as part of the 2011–13 ICC World Cricket League Championship. [9] Coming in fifth in the batting order, he finished with nine not out from 45 balls, as Namibia were bowled out for 80. [10] Green's next matches for the Namibian senior side came early the following month, in the CSA Provincial Competitions.
